Intel guys, I am furiously mad.

I've told you guys a thousand times to use portable, reasonable
mechanisms to configure your hardware.  Using facilities that can
be used for other cards from other vendors with similar facilities.

If such portable netdevice configuration frameworks do not exist,
create it.

Every time you make a device specific mechanism for configuration,
a small kitten dies somewhere in the world.

Please remove all of this configfs crap for twiddling bandwidth
et al. knobs, before I do it for you.

Thanks.
